In the former AmazonOS 7.2.3 and earlies, to pair a Bluetooth GPS dongle you needed an special program as the system refused to tie it to the Kindle as incompatible. Then, you needed to side-load an app called "Bluetooth GPS Provider(Movilej.de)" installed in system with "allow mock location" set, and it worked. This is needed as the Kindle lacks any internal GPS nor software to govern it.

All AmazoOS versions refuse to install many programs GPS related, like games location-aware. It is'nt new, but now with the last updates, the kindle pairs without problems while that named GPS provider hangs.

I've installed your modified rom and now happily all programs GPS-related install. Its a pity, they can't work well with a bluetooth dongle as, since 7.3.0, "mock locations" makes to hang two of the three available GPS provider apps. The only remainder "provider" is plagued of errors.

I'm talking about "Bluetooth GPS"(Googoo) the best, "Bluetooth GPS provider"(Movilej.de), very useful, and "Bluetooth GPS provider"(Michael Chourdakis), working but very basic and with lapsus.

All the three install and work with the beta JB rom and Kinology, but the first two hang with "mock locations" as your rom is based in AmazonOS 7.3.0 and 7.3.1.(Googoo is blocked in the installation on the stock rom)

I'm not a programmer but it seems to me that the last of them(Michael Chourdakis) inject coordinates in a different way(not official) than the first two. Then it skips the protection imposed by Amazon in its latest updates.

Can you track this error-protection?

Kindle Fire 2

Hi,

Any thoughts or plans on making a Kinology for the Kindle fire 2?

Cheers

Bryan

Just a suggestion: You may want to add the fact that if you're coming from CM10.1, you'll need to first flash 7.3.0 (hashcode's .zip) before flashing Kinology, to the OP.

I think this is a good, safe measure or step to take. Not sure that it is necessary, but reduced some confusion --at least for me.

I went from CM10.1 back to Kinology and had no problems (aside from finding my nandroid backup when time came to restore!:)

I did have some "wacky" directory remains (sorry for the technical terms :D) from the CM10.1 on the KFTT. (Hashcode explains the difference in the file structures in his thread on the rom, so I was not particularly worried). Also I'd seen it on my phone earlier when I used CM10.1 as well.

But the lack of "sameness" did bother me and I subsequently reflashed 7.3 (I think I flashed 7.3.1 not 7.3.0, have to check!) and then flashed back to Kinology. All directories appeared to return to normal. In BOTH cases I had used psych0phobia's step zero to erase all old files!

Anyway Kinology works well -before and after-- but with a little bit more understandable directory structure when I am in TWRP or even Root Explorer. ;)

**Thanks again psych0phobia for this super rom --I have a lot of Amazon content and your rom allows me to view and read it while still gaining more freedom than the stock rom! I was thinking about improvements, but it is working so well, that all I can do is enjoy it as I use my KFTT. :good::good:

Thanks again!

Any chances of getting JB Framework on it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
If Amazon core goes JB, yes. Otherwise, not by me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Unlikely. I'm kind of selfish and only really develop for the devices I own and use. ;)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I have no way of testing this since I don't have the appropriate hardware, but I'll have a look and see if anything jumps out at me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gflorezarroyo:
Maybe if you compare 7.2.3 with 7.3.0>…

Thanks for your magnificent rom. It has all and more than I laboriusly added before.....

You even do not need to have a GPS dongle as the "providers" hangs the same. And there are apps that transform a phone with GPS into a GPS dongle to connect it remotely giving coordinates.

Back to Kinology after a couple of weeks with CM10.1.

Just wondering: is it safe playing with dpi? I'd like trying 213 as in CM or 178 as in its TabletUI release.

Anyone using such values with Kinology?

Thanks a lot
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
The included Play Store is "hacked" to ignore DPI, so that part is safe. Anything else that would break would most likely be the fault of the app rather than the OS.

Hi

Installed Kinology - its great, especially with Nova - but a question?

I tried to install AIVC following the instructions in the noob thread,and found I couldn't copy files into system/app - using ES File Explorer or the one included with Kinology, and I'm pretty sure I had root access.

In the end I installed everything via the Play Store, but was just interested if this is something I was doing wrong , or the way it was meant to be.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
The latest ES File Explorer requires you to get root RW rights.

Go to Tools, Root Explorer, Mount R/W
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gflorezarroyo:
I like more the former version...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] menawollas:
Thanks, I thought it was something I missed. Much prefer the earlier version od ESF
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
Me too. I actually unistalled ES 3 and installed back v1.6.2.5.

The problem is that (even after detaching it from the market with TB) the play store keeps insisting I should upgrade.

But this is out of topic...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
You could also use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5zcGVlZHNvZnR3YXJlLnJvb3RleHBsb3JlciJd It does the same thing as ES, is free, and I've found it to be much more straight forward. When you're in the app just hit the little grey button at the top that says mount r/w.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
Well... thanks... but the link you provided is for an app which is not free! :confused:

This ROM should be updated soon. Psychoph0bia will adapt changes from 7.4.1.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
7.4.1?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
Oh, I have not seen an Amazon Kindle Fire HD (7"/KFTT) 7.4.1 rom out yet - did I miss this?

It seemed like Amazon just released 7.3.1 --so soon after 7.3.0, so I did not expect a 7.4.x at all.

While any update would always be appreciated and exciting, Kinology already seems rock solid and even a bit faster to me than stock. Not sure if there is much more to add.

Finally, I recently added LMT to augment my KFTT when I run the Amazon stock Launcher --and it is a nice combo!

Now, I have the stock launcher "throwing" all of my Amazon content right at me (all the time!) and very accessible; but I also have the LMT PIE menu presenting even faster access to functions that I can't really add to "favorites" screen.

It's a nice setup and change from Nova which in another option I use.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
Yeah, apparently Amazon is pushing out 7.4.1 because two users reported their Kindles were updated just recently.

I know. That's what I said too, because the official site didn't mention 7.4.1.

Been playing with this rom for about a day now and it's completely awesome, to say the least. The only odd thing I'm noticing is Titanium Backup complaining that usb debugging isn't enabled when I actually do have it enabled. Anybody else had this?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Disable the message in Titanium settings. It's a holdover from old Android versions (Gingerbread, if I recall); TiBu works fine on modem versions regardless of the debugging setting.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
After installing TIBU on the KFTT (and enabling USB Debugging) that message does appear -but disappeared for me after a reboot. That was repeatable behavior -saw it when I tried CM10.1 and then back to Kinology. So now I always reboot my Kindle Fire HD after installing Titanium BU (I also reboot after going through the setup/preferences menu for TIBU and finding and then selecting my old backup directories. This seems to make TIBU run smoother for me).

The reboot may not be essential, but seems to work as well. :cowboy:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
OK, the Amazon site has a description of the 7.4.1 update; here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...orum=Fx1GLDPZMNR1X53&cdThread=Tx36E18S96DJXEU

Here is what it says (saving you the click:)

"We have a new, free software update available for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9: In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, the software update adds the following features to your Kindle Fire:

* Language Support for Canadian English and Canadian French - You can now change your device language to Canadian English and Canadian French.

* Show Battery Percentage in the Status Bar - You can now see the total percentage of battery life left when you enable this feature from the Device menu."

"This update automatically downloads and installs for Kindle Fire 7", Kindle Fire HD 7" and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" customers; however, you can also manually download the software and update your device using the USB cable."

. . . According to some of the posts at the site, it seems to allow a digital battery meter and not much difference for the user (unless you're Canadian, then you get a more robust language package).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Braves1995:
Thank you, that took care of it.

I do have another question regarding the navbar. When running stock I was not able to remove the bottom bar without leaving the gap where the bar once was. So, when you pulled down the notifications, there would be the gap. This bar also causes problems with third-party keyboards when in landscape mode. Is there any way in the world to just remove the navbar and not leave the gap or have any other weird behavior?

I can't seem to download all the zips it keeps saying "Authorize download" on the media fire page, not sure what that means''

My sound and video work perfectly. . .Try it!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Braves1995:
Another oddity: when I go to check the Storage tab under Device it doesn't pull up. When I tap Storage it just takes me right back to the main Settings screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
This is not normal and I would reinstall Kinology -if a "dirty" install (only clear cache & dalvik prior) still leaves the same problem, then try a full, clean install. That should get your system working well.

Good Luck!

Having great difficulty making use of Rom Toolbox and Ninjamorph with Kinology. I keep theming and substituting icons/images out, rebooting, but nothing ever changes.

Problems with app compatability

I just got Kinology up & running and I'm trying to get all my apps back, but in the Play Store I get "Your device isn't compatible with this version" on almost everything. These are apps I already had on here. Any suggestions?

This worked on my Kinology: head to the build.prop and add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 on a new line. This method did NOT work when I was running stock because it still left the gap. Also, when using LMT Launcher the menu button is working for every app I've tried (which was also NOT working on stock). Hall-le-frickin-lujah! Finally rid of the navbar with everything functioning and looking the way it should.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
You ensure it doesn't happen by installing Kinology correctly and not mucking with advanced options. The built in OTA scripts are the same ones created by prokennexusa and the same ones present in KF First Aide. If you doubt this, take a look at the contents of /system/bin/ota-disable.sh and compare it to the commands issued by OPTION14.0 in RunMe.bat.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Braves1995:
Not doubting you. I was more or less going off of previous poster's claim that an update had come through their device. Maybe they've been mucking around, I haven't. lol
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bryanchapman9999:
I can assure you the only mucking about has been with me switching between CM10.1 and Kinology and back and forth. The Kinology I was on was from a restore of a couple of days ago which was a clean install - few apps installed, playing with go launcher - but certainly no dicking with ota stuff.

I hope I'm the only one it happens to, but I just letting others know. I'm not putting down this ROM in any way - in fact I'm coming back to it from CM10.1

Anyway, if anyone knows about rooting 7.4.3 please let me know!

Hello,

First, nice work :)

Second, I just want to ask a short question: Is the Lockscreen Wallpaper buried deep in the system like with the stock OS or is it possible to change it without hacking?

Regards,

Random Username
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
We ran into this problem with the original Kindle Fire. Eventually we found a way to keep the wallpaper from changing each time the screen locked. You could try this method. If you don't want to click, it says you need to change the wallpaper, then go to /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper and use root browser or some other equivalent to remove write access on it. I need someone to test it (I HATE Amazon stock software, no offense the the devs at Amazon or of Kinology). If it works, I'll make an app for all of you to automate the chmodding process. :D
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Random Username:
But it changes the Launcher wallpaper, not the Lockscreen wallpaper...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
What changes the launcher wallpaper? If you are referring to me saying change the wallpaper then proceed with that process, just try it. It actually DOES set the lockscreen wallpaper, too, you just can't see if before Amazon's wallpaper kicks in. I believe there was an app for those without root, too, that set the wallpaper AFTER Amazon's was set so it would show yours instead of Amazon's. Like I said, I HATE stock. Feel free to try it and post your results here. :D
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Random Username:

Also, I found an app for the Kindle Fire, but not for the HD...

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] GreyGeist:
How long, exactly, does his take to boot first time? I was stuck on the blue screen last time I tried to flash. By blue screen I mean the blue freedom boot logo. I gave it over 5 minutes. Everything works fine with CyanogenMod when I flash it, and I'm doing a factory wipe when I install kinology. Any advice?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
I think flashing Kinlogy according to psych0phobia's OP -including step "0" the wipe and save of all old data works well.

I went from Kinology to CM10.1 and back and when I returned I did all of the steps carefully in order and the pause was long, but not 5 minutes.

Trickiest part is simply making sure you have downloaded all of the files and then flash them in the right order. . .If it did not work the first time -simply try it again and you should get good results.

Good Luck!

Noob Q: How do I launch Google Play?

Thx so much for this rom. Contribution made (5PL50897YR0788530) just to get Google Apps working.

but having searched the thread (and known issues) I don't see how / where to launch it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
If you loaded the full Kinology, Step three {Step 3 - Google Apps: Download Kinology-step3-google-20130425.zip. This step gives you the full Kinology Experience!} will have loaded PlayStore and the Google stuff.

Please look in your app menu and you should see play. Important point is to make sure your menu is displaying DEVICE apps and not CLOUD apps (top center screen choice in apps, just above the "by recent" "by Title" display option.), otherwise you won't see superuser, play and all the other apps that are loaded on the device.

Good Luck!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rightjb:
work around

thank you. not only did I originally perform step 3 - I went back and REDID step 3 to see if something had aborted earlier. Still NO Google apps of any sort showing.

I also went into ESFile and saw under "Installed Applications" only my pre-root apps. (Also NONE of the apps showed up after the original flash - but after I went to Installed Apps they suddenly showed up. kind of weird.)

So, after reading your kind response - I took it one step further. i went to APPS INSTALLED ON PHONE & SYSTEM APPS within ESFile's APP MGR and saw all the google system and framework apps. (actually just Google Play, Play Store and Google Bookmarks Sync - although "google account mgr" "google one time init" services framework were with greyed out kindle icons too.).

I clicked on Google Play / Play Store - it booted - and now Google Play Serices shows up on the carousel and in Apps (Device). However, Play Store still doesn't show up (unlike Music Mgr, Gmail etc) in the app list.

I'm not sure what else I'm missing but at least I got it to work.

Thanks all
